Beautifully Braided
Crafting…in Place!
How is everyone faring? I trust you all are “sheltering in place,” as we Californians have been told to do! I suppose that is really the only way we are going to stop Mr. CV! Thank God for this craft of ours to keep our brains creatively working! So join…
CA Poppy Bloom (and card request)
I love the Poppy Parade color in Stampin’ Up!’s Peaceful Poppies DSP, but the native state flower in California is really more of a Pumpkin Pie color. Here is a photo from our front yard, showing a CA Poppy bloom: This vibrant orange and green is breathtaking. I had to…
A Bright One – Get Your Sunglasses!
If this card doesn’t wake you up, nothing will! I have a bright one for you today!! Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper provides the color, and Love What You Do provides the sweet sentiment. I will share what I love to do with this free Designer Series Paper (get it…
A Tropical Oasis Birthday
I have a Tropical Oasis birthday card for you today. It gives the impression of being quilted, as I ran it through the Big Shot with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder. I chose four prints from the Tropical Oasis DSP that had similar colors in them, cut each square…
Beauty Abounds

Daisy Lane & Best Dressed
As I was looking through my Best Dressed DSP, I found this light purple and mint piece that looks a little like daisies. So Daisy Lane came out of the closet and today we are welcoming Spring (I know… wishful thinking!) Here is Daisy Lane & Best Dressed together~ Pretty…
A 10 Minute Card ~ Your Friendship
Here is a pretty little card that only takes a few minutes to make. Dare I say, 10 minutes? Yep! “Your friendship is a blessing” is such a beautiful sentiment from So Sentimental that can be used for many an occasion. Quick Stats: Lovely Lipstick Cardstock ~ 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, scored…
Best Dressed is So Sentimental!
Best Dressed is So Sentimental! Stampin’ Up!, I can’t thank you enough for this beautiful Best Dressed Designer Series Paper! I’m nuts about the colors in the florals and stripes! In today’s card, I paired it with the So Sentimental Bundle and it’s the perfect fit! Measurements: Gorgeous Grape Cardstock…
Making a CASE
Every once in a while, I make a card that I enjoy so much – I just want to make more! But more of the same isn’t always what I have in mind. Then when I switch the DSP and the sentiment but keep the same layout, it feels like…
